Look at the samples here :

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/digikam/-/tree/master/core/data/application=
s?ref_type=3Dheads

For the FastTone image viewer for ex:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=3DApplication
Name=3DFastStone Image Viewer
X-Exec=3DFSViewer.exe %f
X-Icon=3DFSViewer.exe
MimeType=3Dimage/jpg;image/bmp;image/png

So for the Affinity Pixel we can have something like that:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=3DApplication
Name=3DAffinityPixel Image Viewer
X-Exec=3Daffinity.exe %f
X-Icon=3Daffinity.exe
MimeType=3Dimage/jpg;image/bmp;image/png


I don't know if the application executable is "affinity.exe" and if the
image type supported is only jpeg, bmp and png.
